AxlRoseCDII Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I mean it sucks, but who cares anymore now that he’s not in GNR? Are we going to be criticizing 12 years learning guitar on the forum now as well? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I don't see what's wrong with it... it's a couple of seconds of shredding and tapping, nothing extraordinary, but nothing wrong with either. Who cares really?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, Mendez said: It aint Frusciante, No it ain't. But John is freakishly talented, like Jimi was in a way and he had a much better chemistry with the peppers so maybe it's not a very effective comparison. Navarro is great though. He is capable of being melodic but I feel like his style is cool and original enough that he can get away with not being as traditional as many other players when it comes to melody. (which is extremely important, at least to me) doesn't seem like it's his goal to be as melodic as most. His personality comes through his playing and is compelling enough I think. He comes from an art rock band so it's not surprising that he's not the most melodic player in the world but he is a very gifted player with tons of feel and technique and it's not like his playing lacks direction. It's not just mindless noodling, he is saying something with his guitar lines and mostly it serves the songs imo. Very unique player.

El Guapo Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Ashba sucks. What was Axyl thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 melody, if you really think about it, is as...whats the word? Mindless as a concept as mindless tapping and shredding. I mean its literally maths isn't it, when you think about it. The value is in feeling and emotion and putting that into playing...and thats something that just can't be taught. Johnny Ramone is one of the simplest guitarist I've ever heard...but damn he got some emotion out of me and million of Ramones fans over the years, even if 90% of that emotion amounts to leaping up and down on the spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
